at home before making an appointment with your doctor. First, you should know the risks and just how long you should wait for home remedies to work.The hallmark of yeast is usually severe itching, which often gets worse and worse over a matter of days. This can be accompanied by thick,, but it's possible to have a yeast infection without significant discharge. Symptoms usually start at the opening of the vagina and expand out to the sides of the vulva and even down toward the anus.
Sometimes the itching and infection can be so intense that it causes the skin to break or bumps and lesions to arise. Many of my patients see lesions or skin breaks and automatically think it must be an STI like herpes. Though that's possible, yeast can sometimes produce similar symptoms. I wish there were a definitive way to tell the difference between the two, but there isn't.
The most effective treatment for a suspected yeast infection is an over-the-counter antifungal medication. I personally prefer three-day or seven-day vaginal treatments over those touted to clear up an infection in one day, just based on my decade of experience treating patients. Be warned that these medications can sometimes burn — many antifungal preparations contain alcohol, which, coupled with broken skin, can be painful.
If you're looking for a more natural treatment, you can try coconut oil to soothe the external vulva.
